Cross hatch desk:
Draw a cross hatched drawing of a desk, table or favorite area of your home* and its surrounding area using two point perspective. Your drawing must include a corner of the room done with appropriate two point perspective.
Use a black uniball pen or black gel pen on white paper.
Make the room appear dimly lit. I suggest to use one light on the desk being the only
light source
Work no larger than A4!!
This will take several hours. Cross hatch can be very time consuming. Allow plenty of time for this assignment.
*The area must have some rectilinear furniture.

Tips:
Make sure
the direction of the hatching follows the planes of the forms you are
trying to represent. For example, curved forms should have curved lines
and straight forms should have straight lines. Lines that are used for
shading that appear to go back in space should angle towards a vanishing
point.
Also, make sure to vignette the outer perimeter of the paper with
crosshatching so that the light on the desk seems to glow out of the
darkness around it. Make your lines close and short so that you achieve
the greatest control over your values and that the lines retain a fresh,
spontaneous quality. |
Advanced options: Add more furniture into the space at different angles with different vanishing points.
